No need to book, just turn up. Cost will be £3 per head per week which will also include tea/coffee and biscuits.

April 2025 – Jim Razey, one of the West Bletchley Shed founder members, was recently awarded the Mayor of Milton Keynes City Council’s “Volunteer of the Year” Award in recognition of not only the work that he does for the Shed, but he is often to be found tending the local Sensory Garden in Church Green Road as well as raising valuable funds for the South Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

Jim received his award from the Mayor at a civic reception held at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel on 4 April.

March 2025 – As part of the innovative Bletchley Pathway Project, Paul Egerton, West Bletchley Shed Secretary, demonstrated pyrography art to many participants during the two hour drop-in session held at the West Bletchley Community Centre. This proved very popular with a clamour for more such events to be staged in the future.
